Best Summer Ever at Burot Beach, Batangas

Kung gusto mo ng bongga na, mura pa, ala e, dito ka na! This place is actually perfect if you want to try something new, not so popular place to go (but now becoming) to spend your vacation this summer.

In celebration for passing the board examination and graduated from college, friends decided to have a trip. Since it is summer, its best time to hit the beach, great way to enjoy the sun, beat the heat and to have fun. Through internet searching, our feet took us to this beautiful place in Calatagan. Batangas, the Burot beach.

The place is actually quite nice, as matter of fact amazing. First time to get here, instantly fell to like it. Love the setting, water, and the sea urchins. Yes you will encounter a lot there.

On our way to Burot beach. We had tricycle ride all the way from the market to the beach, and that costs us 50 pesos each. There’s a lot of tricycle in the market offering a ride, and I think every driver charge same amount. These are your views on your way to the Burot, passing through on a rough road, damuhan, sementeryo, also blue water sea and Bakawan plants.

You can get to Calatagan by using public transportation, actually madali lang, but it’s a long ride. From Dasma to Calatagan it took us two and half hour.

Since we used public transportation, we bought some of our supplies at the market, just nearby the Celyrosa Express terminal. Doon na namin binili yung mga fresh goods and those heavy stuff like bigas. Pero medyo mahal ang price dito lalo na sa manok. So if you have the time and means to buy all your stuff sa lugar niyo, I push niyo yan para todo ang katipiran. By the way, bet na bet ko yang malaking panutsa.

Oh di ba bongga! ang sosyal lang ng peg. Many beach goer during the weekends, so I suggest, get there early as you can, to find a best spot to put up your tent.

Entrance fee sa beach is 130 pesos for an overnight stay; they also charge 20 pesos for every tent you bring. Pero kung wala kayong tent, I guess you can rent it for 300 pesos.

After we had our breakfast, we decided to try the boat riding. For 100 pesos each, Manong will take you to three places near the beach. It is my first time to try boat riding and island hoping. Saya lang.

Suma sideline ang lola mo. Our tour guide.

First stop, a stretch of sand in the middle of the sea, ang taray di ba?

So far, I can say this is the best summer trip I had. A lot of first time for me, to include, got drunk in the beach at night because of a game. Happy to be with these people. A great pay off to all the hard work in school. A great place to wash off the stress I been through. Till next time guys.
